My Valentine's plans: Tell me if they're good!

[DaveC]

OK, as probably 98% of the board knows, I've been dating a girl named Rachel ( ) since May, so this is our first V-Day together. Here is my plan for the day:

2:00PM - Pick her up at her house, give her a dozen roses, hang out at her house for a while
3:30PM - Leave house, go to a (romantic) movie.
5:00PM - Go to il Mercato restaurant (http://www.il-mercato.ca/), eat a romantic meal in a really nice restaurant, give her jewellery (I'm buying her a nice earring/necklace set)
7:00PM - Go for a drive in the countryside, give her a big ol' teddy bear.
9:00PM - Bring her back to my home, give her a box of candy, hang out for a while, look at the stars, etc.
11:00PM - Bring her home, nice romantic kiss goodbye.

What do y'all think? Good? Or over the top?

Keep in mind this is my first V-Day with a girlfriend.

Hi Dave,

Sounds like a brilliant day. Rachels a lucky girl.

 

[Hewson]

Sounds like a short movie, leaving at 3:30 to go to movies, then arriving for dinner at 5:00.
Otherwise its a good plan.

 

[martha]

give her jewellery

This is always my favorite part.



But make sure it's something nice, and something REAL.

beats my plans too.

It is a stinky Holiday - propigated by super-corporation Hallmark.

SO, to, um, celebrate, the young lady I have had the honor of spending time with recently and I will be creating the "most un-romantic" evening we can create.

She suggested we somehow fit laser tag in. I am thinking of the stopping by the White Castle drive through and picking up a sack of 10 to go along with a six-pack of Natty Lite (cans, of course) - and enjoying all of this in a bus shelter on a corner somewhere!

Any other UNROMANTIC ideas?

 

[Angela Harlem]

make sure you 'forget' your wallet

 

[zoney!]

PERFECT!

Hey, like, we should totally hang that night.

Perhaps you could sopt by a cemetery and pick flowers off of someone's grave ... or better yet steal them from a nursing home.

Natty Lite ... Is PBR too good for the special lady?

Don't wash for a couple of days before hand. And before the date, eat a really spicy chilli with lots of garlic in it, with a side order of refried beans

 

[nbcrusader]

Very nice! My only recommendation - instead of getting her lots of stuff, get her one or two things that are personal - things that reflect your relationship or something you lover about her.

 

[zoney!]

ah, yes. Sliders from White Castle have a similar, um, "outcome." I may just downgrade the meal to two chili dogs (only 99 cents) from 7-Eleven. You know, they have their own fixins bar!

And you can watch them rotating on the grill - why spend money on a movie!

 

[Mr. BAW]

Any other UNROMANTIC ideas?

Make her drive the truck you borrowed! That's destined to get your ass groped too!

 

[zoney!]

spoken like a true former man of the law

Make her drive the truck you borrowed

Yes, "borrowed."

 

[meegannie]

I seriously LOVE chili dogs.

I'm a cheap date.

 

[bammo2]

I've never had a chilli dog. what is it? I'm guessing it's a hot dog with chilli on it?

Sounds dangerous if you ask me

 

[zoney!]

You got it! Hot dog with Chilli on top! When I make it over to England...I will bring one for you and one for meggie! And, yes, very dangerous!

 

[beli]

In addition to the chilli dogs, groping etc. I think you should arrive for the date absolutely hammered and inappropriately dressed with 3 of your scungiest mates in tow. You could then watch the football on the tv during the entire date. It goes with out saying that you must of course fart, belch and scratch your butt (preferably while eating). If you can do all of this in some kind of musical fashion with your mates, so much the better.

 

[JessicaAnn]

Zoner, you should also stop taking showers today so that by Saturday, you have that extra special smell only a woman could love.

 

[nbcrusader]

You like him ripe?

 

[ILuvLarryMullen]

i think that after everything she says you should say "that's what YOU think" for the entire date. also tell her that you have a sore that you might think is infected and ask her to look at it for you

 

[Mrs. Edge]

Hi Dave, just wanted to say that it's obvious you put a lot of thought into this and that you are crazy about her. She will be thrilled!

Zone, when are you coming back here?? Or in your unromantic business with this new person have you forgotten all about me?
